ALEXANDER MITCHELL.

Alexander Mitchell, the famous millionaire
and railway magnate of the Northwest,
died rather suddenly at the Hoffman house
at New York City, at 2:25 Tuesday after
noon, April 10, of bronchial pneumonia,
complicated by intermittent malarial
fever. He had passed the winter at his
Florida residence, where his wife still is.
and reached New York April ?. In the
Southern climate be contracted malaria,
and was quite i'll on reaching New York,
but until the Wednesday before his death had
not been confined to his ROOM His remains
have been forwarded to Milwaukee for
burial. Mr.. Mitchell was born Oct. Is, 1917,
in the parish of Elton, Central Aberdeen
shire, Scotland. Elton is about midway be-
tween Aberdeen and Peterhead, and six or
eight miles back from the North sea coast.
In this quiet farming region his father, John
Mitchell, was an industrious and substantial
farmer, a man of vigorous intellect, self
reliance and probity. He was of English
stock, his father having removed to Aber-
deenshire about the middle of the eighteenth
century. Mr. Mitcheirs mother was of pure
Scottish descent. Alexander was the sixth
of nine children of John and Margaret Len
drum Mitchell; all of the nine grew up 10
maturity, bat only two now survive. Alex
ander grew up on his fathers farm, under
the care of his eldest sister, Margaret, his
mother having died in his childhood. He
enjoyed the advantages of the parish schools,
which seem TO have been of an unusual
high character.
